3000 drycha theme

Post by Andrew »

Feel like doing something fun/different.

(355) Drycha
(325) Treeman Ancient

(252) 20 Dryads - champ
(252) 20 Dryads - champ
(132) 10 Dryads - champ
(120) 10 Dryads

(390) 6 Tree Kin

(285) Treeman

Still have some points to play with. More tree kin? Branchwraith? Spites on the ancient?

I would take a lvl 4 to try to get Savage Beast of Horros off on Drycha. Probably Wissan's on the unit too. She'll tear through anything then.

Three problems with that:

- Turns her into Cav/MCav; have no Cav units to join, leaving her open to be splattered.
- If I take Wild Riders, it reduces the number of trees drastically, killing the theme.
- She also replaces the Ancient, reducing the number of trees even further.

With more than a few units to be awakened, there won't be much for opponents to target, other than the Spellweaver/Wild Riders. I'd rather have them blowing away mere dryads instead.

The idea is that the treemen and tree kin deep strike into the forests and get flanks/rears, depending on what I'm facing.

I really wouldn't worry about not having a LoS roll for the spellweaver. With two treeman and a bunch of treekin to shoot their template weapons at, opponents have bigger fish to fry.

Adding a few branchwraiths and a spellweaver would really do it for me. Boosted Savaged Beast of Horros + branchwraiths = death by TREE.

Guess I'll need to put it into practice to get a good handle on that idea. Still sad that I lose out on a tree :cry:

How's that? I like the Unicorn, and figured the other upgrades would definitely keep her alive and be a nuisance. I suppose a scroll or something would be good too, but egh...

Hmm, I could use Ariel as the spellweaver on unicorn. They're big forest spirit people! What base size should I use, 50mm?

drop the Dryad champs, get champs on the tree kin. Partially because no one wants to get chump challenged by an Elder, but a nymph is no big deal.

Can't, need the minimum core.

Looks like it's all about to change soon anyway...I'll keep with this thread though after the new book pops, if it's still relevant.
